My latest camera and lens,The camera is very heavy...or perhaps I should say the lens has a bit of weight to it! Yashica made some nice cameras, comparing this camera to my Ricoh TLS and Praktica IV,they feel and handle like tanks compared to holding this Yashica Very Happy

I converted them to B&W as the house lights give a horrible WB, see the last image.

Nice, but I would go nuts because of that shutter release button. Smile

I think it would soon become easier to find with practice. All my Prakticas have the button there so it seems normal. Laughing

Nice example of a not too common model.

Thanks luis,I could easily start collecting these lenses,the early yashinons not the later ones. The cameras aren't that bad either....I need more cameras like I need an extra hole in the head. Very Happy
